It's very well researched and reveals details about the original Amigas, I didn't know. One of the best articles I've read in years. Also covers a recent reunion among the original Lorraine engineers.

It would have been interesting (to me, at any rate) to hear a bit more from the original crew, especially about where Amiga has ended up/is going. Also, I don't recall that Viscorp every actually owned Amiga. I thought they never quite came through with the money. I remember that Carl Sassenrath(?) was keen to get his hands back on the OS design (he was a Viscorp employee then).
The photo of the new Amiga design is one from the Gateway era. I don't know if those designs were ever picked up by the new owners.
A good read though.

A truly marvelous article with great pics about the Amiga and her creators.
I can hardly wait to visit the “bunny” to see how the toads, that often fester there, bash this article too!

"Amiga has ported the latest version of its classic OS to Tao's system,
said Amiga's McEwen, so that many existing programs can be moved to the
new architecture with minimal disruption, even though the CPU, display
hardware, disks, and network interfaces are completely different."

Do they know something we don't (because they asked, recently?)?
Hmm, 30 days left to announcement day at St. Louis.., just curious.

Re : Gateway Photo
I loved the design of this machine! After the Walker <shudders in recollection> I was amazed to see something that actually looked this cool, I wonder who now owns the rights to this design, did Amino (Amiga Inc) obtain them with the rest of the rights?

This explains a lot why they don't want to port AmigaOS to PPC. Imagine that you can actually use it a standalone OS running on a VP without having to run the AmigaDE :)
This could be great news!! A Semi-PPC AmigaOS afterall!
Bye AROS! bye MorphOS!
